HP Designjet Z3100 Printing Guide [PS Driver] - Printing your design [Adobe Illustrator CS2 - Windows]

You should consider that each person has their own perception and their own subjective opinion
about the result; this is because there are various factors that can influence our opinions, such as the
type of image (portrait, landscape…), the source color space, the media used, the environmental
conditions, the subjective perception about your own photo, etc.... This means the printing suggestion
may not completely match with your own personal opinion.
1. First recommendations:
• Refer to the
Media type functionality & features and choose the most appropriate media.
• It is essential that you have the media type correctly calibrated with the printer, refer to the
Calibrate my printer section.
• In order to get a correct display, it’s also essential that you have the monitor profiled, refer to
the
Profile my monitor document.
• If the paper that you are using is not listed or if you cannot find a paper type that resembles
yours closely enough we strongly recommend creating a new Custom Paper Type. You can
add a custom paper automatically by using the HP Color Center; refer to the
Add and profile
a new paper type document.
